A Mardi Gras-style party lent festivity to a business meet-and-greet on March 13. In an effort to extend networking and business opportunities in Ocean County, the Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce got together with the Toms River/Ocean County Chamber of Commerce at Cuisine on the Green in Little Egg Harbor Township.

The mixer was the first of many projects on which the chambers will be working together, said Lori Pepenella, SOC Chamber destination marketing director.
